I'm curious; what works were assigned for this class?

[ChaoofNee]

Just out of curiosity, when any of you go about bullshitting a paper, how do you do it? I suck at bullshitting, plain and simple. Also, I don't care about the class I'm doing it for because it doesn't apply to my major (Post honors bullshit. They require every honors student to take a bullshit class from their list, even if it doesn't fit your major.) I don't normally do this, either, and it takes forever for me to write.

...I've got actual, important schoolwork to do, please.

I'm curious; what works were assigned for this class?

First half of the course:
Castle of Otranto - Horace Walpole
The Monk - Matthew Lewis
The Italian - Anne Radcliffe
Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen

Second Half:
Frankenstein - Mary Shelly
Various Ghost Stories by Dickens and MR James
Dracula - Bram Stoker
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - R.L. Stevenson
The Turn of the Screw - Henry James
Various Southern Gothic short stories by Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner and Eudora Welty
The Exorcist - William Peter Blatty

I read portions of all of the works but only finished the short stories, Jekyll and Hyde and The Exorcist because I'm a pathetically slow reader and it was taught at a pretty fast pace. I just don't recommend The Italian and Northanger Abbey... and The Turn of the Screw, but that's mainly because I have a personal vendetta against Henry Fucking James.

Don't think I can help you, the last paper I bullshitted I wrote in 2 hours and it was 5ish pages I think, but it was on a topic that I was already familiar with (Gender issues raised in High Noon). It was for extra credit.

I guess I recommend using long quote but make them relevant so it doesn't look like you're simply padding the paper. Or you could just suck it up and write the shit.

Use lots and lots of block quotes. That'll easily take up 3 pages.

yeah. I don't really care for ugly fat women. Can we ban being fat in public places? I don't like watching them, being all fat and unhealthy. They drive up the insentive of food corporations to make crappy unhealthy food, which slowly makes me fat and kills me.

So yeah, no more fat people in public.

If they constantly threw their fat in your face and stunk up your clothes with the smell of fat while ruining your lungs, then yeah, I say ban 'em.

Have you ever had to sit by an extremely fat person on an airplane? I guarantee your lungs will be ruined, and your clothes will stink of fat. Ban 'em!

[Mr-K]

I actually do think that fat people shouldn't be allowed in public. I really, really hate fat people for some reason.
